By developing individual strengths, guarding against known weaknesses, and appreciating the strengths of the other types, life will be more amusing, more interesting, and more of a daily adventure than it could possibly be if everyone were alike.

What is the Myers-Briggs Type Inventory?

Are
you an introvert or an extravert? A feeler or a thinker? The Myers-Briggs Type
Inventory (MBTI) is a widely used tool which provides a framework to better understand
similarities and differences among people. Jacquelyn is certified to use this
tool in her work with clients.

The
MBTI was developed after 45 years of research by Katharine Briggs and Isabel Myers,
a mother-daughter team, and it incorporates the well known work of Carl Jung,
a Swiss psychiatrist.

The
Murphy-Meisgier Type Indicator for Children (grades 2 through 6) was first conceptualized
in 1980 by Elizabeth Murphy, Ed.D. and Charles Meisgier, Ed.D. It is based on
the same concepts and preferences as the Myers-Briggs. The final instrument was
completed in 1987. It:

contributes
to the parenting, teaching and overall understanding of children and their development

facilitates
improved relationships between children and teachers, children and parents, and
children and their relationships

helps
children understand and value their unique qualities while also learning to appreciate
those who are different

improves
self-esteem, achievement and social interaction by identifying individual strengths,
and selecting areas for growth
